23 Environmental Rules Rolled Back in Trump’s First 100 Days
Revoked a rule that prevented coal mining companies from dumping debris into local streams.
Canceled a requirement for reporting methane emissions.
Rejected a ban on a potentially harmful insecticide.
Withdrew guidance for federal agencies to include greenhouse gas emissions in environmental reviews.
Ordered review and "elimination" of rule that protected tributaries and wetlands under the Clean Water Act.

And on and on. Get stuffed.

Which bills has he signed? Can you show me how the cuts affected them? What was cut specifically and where?

I stopped paying attention after he called climate change a chinese conspiracy when 97% of scientists say global warming is a legitimate and serious concern. Luckily my fellow posters in this thread have been able to post the dozens of overturned anti pollution regulations. I feel like trump just doesnt give a fuck what happens to the planet after he dies in 10 years

 

[emefer]

im guessing he is talking about wanting to roll back pretty much all pollution regulation.

Also Trump's head of the EPA is explicitly in favor of more pollution.

But his head of EPA did put his banker, who's been banned from the banking industry, in charge of cleaning up the superfund sights.

Does it bother his supporters that Trump pretty much doesnt believe in Pollution? Is that one point where u guys are like “ok thats kind of whacky but I hate the left so much that I’ll just ignore this odd belief of his” or do you guys also not believe in pollution now?

He is pollution. And have ya noticed that his base are not the brightest bulbs in the chandelier?

 

[Necromantic]

Source? Or are you against such things? Or do you believe hyperbole = truth?

He is pollution.

You might need a dictionary.

But look at your statement. Trump is human. You are human. Yet you call him pollution. So do you have some serious issues with self hatred? Have you cleaned your room lately?

Why are you so obsessed with trying to find something that trump suporters disagree with him on?

If only so many laws rules weren't left up to un-elected agencies. But it's just too inconvenient for Congress so better to abdicate the responsibility and term it all simple regulation.

You got your entire opinion from your jejenum

See above posts.

 

[TheComebackKid]

To be fair, actions speak louder than words, and his actions of gutting the EPA, and appointing a man that worked on behalf of corporations to oppose the EPA, as the head of the agency, says quite a bit about where he stands.

None of that suggests he doesn't believe in pollution

 

[shockaholic12]

Trump believes in "clean coal". How fucking stupid are conservatives?

Lol. What’s your solution.

 

[Ice That Jaw]

It's a sad side effect of neo-conservatism. Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, were as conscientious as modern democrats on environmental issues. Even Bush senior was decent.

You're right. The OP was incorrect and should be changed.

It should state that he doesn't care much for the environment.

 

[TheComebackKid]

It should state that he doesn't care much for the environment.

That would be incorrect and misleading as well. He should just point the policies and decisions he disagrees with and why. This elementary approach reflects bad on you guys.

Nah, he straight called climate change a chinese hoax. I remember clearly during his campaign he said this, even tho 97% of scientist said its real. I assume the other 3% were his yes men.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Lol. What’s your solution.

To Trump being a fucking dumbshit? I guess we'd need to impeach. Or do you mean not letting agencies of the executive branch dictate law (like the FCC and net neutrality)? In that case we'd demand that regulation stem from Congress.
